Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed. -

(May 2012) Bradley Alan Krueger, B.A., University of Michigan Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kevin J. Crisman The Great Lakes side-wheel steamboat Anthony Wayne was built in 1837 at Perrysburg, OH and participated in lakes shipping during a time when such vessels were experiencing their heyday. Designed as a passenger and cargo carrier, the steamer spent 13 years transporting goods and people throughout the Upper Lakes until succumbing to a boiler explosion while headed to Buffalo on 28 April 1850. The remains of Anthony Wayne were discovered in 2006 and two years later a collaborative project was begun for the purposes of documenting and assessing the present day condition of the wreck. -

Population Dynamics of Smallmouth Bass in the Beaver
POPULATION DYNAMICS OF SMALLMOUTH BASS IN THE BEAVER ARCHIPELAGO, NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN, 1999-2002 by MICHAEL JOHN SEIDER Under the Direction of Douglas L. Peterson ABSTRACT The Beaver Island Archipelago in Lake Michigan had a popular smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui) fishery in the 1970-80s. In the 1990s, anglers became concerned that the smallmouth bass population was in decline due to predation by the increasing double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) population in the archipelago. The objective of this study was to determine the status of smallmouth bass by estimating current population characteristics and comparing them to past data. I estimated population size, condition, growth, and cohort survival for smallmouth bass from 1999-2002. Smallmouth bass abundance had declined 85-92% since the 1970-80s. Growth rates and condition had increased since the 1970s. High adult survival and similar declines in nongame fish species indicated that angler harvest was not limiting smallmouth bass abundance. Mortality rates for ages 3-5 were as high as 99%, which is consistent with cormorant predation. These data suggested that cormorant predation is limiting smallmouth bass abundance.

(August 2009) Benjamin Louis Ford, B.A., University of Cincinnati; M.A., College of William and Mary Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kevin Crisman The goal of the Lake Ontario Maritime Cultural Landscape project was to investigate the nature and distribution of archaeological sites along the northeast shoreline of Lake Ontario while examining the environmental, political, and cultural factors that influenced the position of these sites. The primary method of investigation was a combined archaeological and historical survey of the shoreline within seven 1-km square areas. The archaeological component of the survey covered both the terrestrial and submerged portions of the shore through marine remote sensing (side-scan sonar and magnetometer), diving surveys, pedestrian surveys, and informant interviews. A total of 39 sites and 51 isolated finds were identified or further analyzed as a result of this project. These sites ranged from the Middle Archaic period (ca. 5500–2500 B.C.) through the 19th century and included habitation, military, transportation, and recreational sites. -

Horsey Kingston, Ontario 1942 This narrative has been prepared as a tribute of respect to the memory of Good Friends. THE GILDERSLEEVES OF KINGSTON — THEIR ACTIVITIES — 1816 - 1930 — On Lake Ontario, St. Lawrence River and Bay of Quinte POSSIBLY IN NO SPHERE of endeavor have more revolutionary changes taken place, during the past century, than those in connection with transportation. Modes of service considered essential, and depended upon, hare given way to the introduction and gradual perfecting of the steam railway and automotive methods; together with the merging of industries, bringing about a change in the centres of distribution and marketing. Bo field of operation was more effected than movement by water, both freight and passenger, and services which played an important part in the development of the country for over a hundred years are now only memories of the past - lost to a great extent in oblivion. Outstanding among those who achieved distinction in this regard, during the nineteenth century, were members of the Gildersleeve family—Henry Gildersleeve, his sons and grandson —who, together with their activities, are now remembered only by the older generation of present Kingstonians. Their names are associated with the inauguration and development of steam navigation on Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River and Bay of Quinte, particularly the latter, extending over a period of some ninety-five years. In fact, Henry Gildersleeve, the elder, was generally referred to as "the father of steam navigation," as regards the waters of this section of the Province of Ontario. -

JOHN CALVIN (Jean Calvin) Great Leader of the Reformation, Born at Noyon, France, July 10, 1509; died at Geneva, Switzerland, May 27, 1564. The Reformer himaelf had only one child who di.ed in infancy, but IlBilY · of the American Calvina are believed to be descended from his relatives and to have come from the same family stock.

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 1945 Copyright 1945 Claude W, Calvin Llthoprinted In U.S.A. EDWARDS BROTHERS, INC. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 1945 INTRODUCTION. What was the origin of the American Calvins? How and when did this historic family name--made famous by John Calvin, the great French religious reformer of the 16th Century--come to be introduced into the New World? It seems strange that nothing should have found its way into print on the subject of this widespread and fairly numerous American family, particularly since there have been Calv1ns in America since the early days of the American colonies. It would appear that a family name which has now been established on the American continent for 290 years and which had so spread through the English colonies before the outbreak of the American Revolution that 58 members of the family took part in that conflict from nine of the original thirteen colonies, would ere this have found a historian to recount its deeds. Yet, so far as can be learned, not a line has heretofore been wri.tten for publication regarding the origin and history of the Calvin name in America. -

The CRCA and the Township are working together to coordinate local source water protection efforts under the Ontario Clean Water Act, 2006. The Township of Frontenac Islands is located where Lake Ontario flows into the St. Lawrence River, and it includes Wolfe Island and Howe Island, as well as several smaller islands such as Garden Island and Simcoe Island (see Figure 1). Groundwater studies were completed for the Western Cataraqui Region (Trow Associates Inc. 2007) and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (Dillon Consulting Limited 2001) however, information regarding the geology and hydrogeology of the Frontenac Islands was not included in either of these reports because the Frontenac Islands are not part of the CRCA jurisdiction. This report summarizes the local geology and groundwater conditions, assesses the groundwater use, and discusses data gaps that exist throughout the Frontenac Islands. The report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of reference for groundwater studies developed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (2001). It will be used as a technical reference document for the local source protection plan. The geology of the Frontenac Islands mainly consists of Paleozoic limestones of the Gull River, Bobcaygeon, and Verulam Formations that are overlain by thin glacial overburden. The Paleozoic limestones overlie the granites and migmatites of the Precambrian shield and, occasionally, sandstone of the Nepean (Potsdam) Formation (see Figure 5).
